Can The Sperm Be Effected By Alcohol?
We are going to start trying to have a baby. My husband was out at the ranch this weekend having (I am sure) quite a few beers. I am supposed to ovulate in a couple of days. Will his sperm be toxic? We conceived after the 2nd time last time and now have a 2 year old. Are the sperm that he has in there now effected by the alcohol consumed? If so, is there anything we can do to make the quality of them better this time around or should we wait? Does alcohol that close to conception effect the outcome of the baby if the man has had alcohol? He doesn't drink on a day to day basis but I am sure he binged during his ranch visit......thank you for answering my question..

Hi, there is no effect on sperms by occasional drinking. Alcohol intake will not have a permanent effect if taken only occasionally. You can have contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days if your ovulation days are coming. Don't worry about it. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help.
